"Yue'er, be careful."
The people from the Han Family were shocked when Shen Yun outright attacked Han Yue, a junior member of their family, and they felt a seething hatred for him.
Although on the battlefield, one might resort to any means necessary to win, for an Elder of Dou Zong level to suddenly attempt to kill a young girl, especially someone respected throughout the Northern Domain, was indeed excessive.
Han Chi and others quickly rushed to Han Yue's side, attempting to block Shen Yun's attack.
These strong members of the Han Family naturally wouldn't scheme against Shen Yun like the younger members might. Experts of Dou Zong level weren't abundant in the Northern Domain, and Shen Yun was a well-known and reputable fighter. His sudden, cruel attack on Han Yue must hide some secret.
Could it be...
As thoughts raced through their minds, everyone began to feel reassured.
Indeed, what was Han Yue's status now? How could she possibly come to harm?
"Bang!"
A golden light flashed around Han Yue, and an inexplicable aura of deterrence emanated from her.
Beneath the shimmering golden light, Han Yue looked even more radiant and enchanting. Her long dress fluttered as she stood there, her stunning beauty shining bright, like a Goddess, immediately capturing the attention of countless people.
Even those not prone to lust were completely drawn to Han Yue at this moment.
The aura that burst forth in an instant intoxicated many.
Han Yue was naturally beautiful, and the mysterious golden light added a layer of enigma to her.
And Shen Yun's full-powered palm halted just a meter away from Han Yue. A thin layer of golden light shielded her, with Shen Yun's palm striking squarely on the protective barrier.
Even under the full force of a Dou Zong Expert, the shield remained unmovable.
"What is that?"
"Could there be some kind of protective charm on Han Yue's body?"
"My goodness, that's an Elder from the Feng Lei Pavilion! What in the world can withstand a strike from such a powerful being?"
"If we could possess such a treasure, wouldn't we be able to strut across the Continent without worry for our lives at least?"
Powerhouses everywhere drew a sharp breath.
Even the dullest of minds could see there was something strange about Han Yue.
No wonder Elder Shen Yun had suddenly attacked Han Yue. Such a young girl actually had such a powerful asset.
Originally, all the families great and small in Tianbei City thought the Han Family was finished; the Hong Family was not to be trifled with, and together with the Feng Lei Pavilion, no ordinary noble family could stand up to them.
But they hadn't expected the Han Family to be so formidable!
Indeed, none of the families that rose to prominence in Tianbei City were simple.
The secrets hidden by the Han Family were no less significant than those of the Hong Family.
Han Yue was one of the twin jewels of the Han Family, but most people just saw her as a pretty face. No one thought that such a young junior of the Han Family would have such a protective treasure.
"The Han Family indeed has secrets, but what exactly are they? Could it really be a supreme treasure?" The experts of the Hong Family exchanged glances, swallowing hard.
If they could know the secrets of the Han Family, even if the Feng Lei Pavilion took the lion's share, they would fatten themselves with the remainder.
All those on the side of the Han Family also dropped their jaws in disbelief.
They couldn't believe their young miss was so badass!
"Han Yue? What is this thing on you? It must be some kind of supreme treasure, right?" Shen Yun searched frantically in his mind, for he had never encountered such a situation before.
"Why do you care? If you have the guts, try to touch me again?"
Han Yue was overjoyed. She knew there was an aura left by Xu Ran on her body that could help her resist attacks from anyone below the Dou Di level.
Even a Dou Sheng arriving would find it impossible to lay a hand on Han Yue.
When Han Yue had first heard Xu Ran mention it, she didn't take it seriously. But seeing Shen Yun thwarted, she suddenly understood what was going on.
"Little girl, let me teach you what it means to 'respect the old and cherish the young'."
Such contempt from Han Yue made Shen Yun's face look extremely ugly.
He had no idea what it was on Han Yue's person that seemed to automatically protect her whenever it sensed an attack, disappearing as quickly as the attack itself subsided.
Automatic protection? Having such a heaven-defying object on her person was indeed unbelievable.
Moreover, it could withstand attacks of his level, describing it as 'defying the heavens' was not an overstatement.
The thunderous sounds hidden in Shen Yun's palm echoed faintly as the pressuring might of thunder made all the experts present feel a sense of awe. They knew that an attack of this level would be unbearable for them.
The Dou Zong Expert from Feng Lei Pavilion had practiced the Fighting Techniques and Martial Skills of the Pavilion, making him much stronger than the Dou Zong of smaller families.
"Father, don't worry, I want to see what this old fool can do to me," Han Yue said with a cold hum, a trace of commanding presence flickering in her phoenix eyes.
Having been with Xu Ran and others for so long, although she appeared gentle and had never used Xu Ran's reputation to bully others, her heart was inherently proud.
To her, the Hong Family, even the Feng Lei Pavilion, simply amounted to nothing.
This return to the Northern Domain, she had never even considered the Feng Lei Pavilion a contender.
Nor was her pride without reason; being with Xu Ran and the people around him for long, her vision had naturally broadened. She knew well that in the future, she could at least be a Dou Sheng level master, so why should she place any value on the mere Feng Lei Pavilion?
Therefore, seeing an Elder from the Northern Pavilion of the Feng Lei Pavilion being so impudent, she couldn't hold back her temper.
"What a sharp-tongued brat. Let's see if your treasure can withstand my 'Wind-Thunder Palm'," Shen Yun thought that all he needed to do was deplete the energy of the protective treasure on Han Yue, and naturally, he could capture her.
But what he didn't know was that if he had this in mind, with his recent palm strength, he wouldn't be able to do it even given three days and nights.
Han Yue pursed her lips, not scared in the slightest.
She knew Xu Ran was watching over her, and if she were truly in danger, Xu Ran would definitely appear by her side.
Plus, she didn't believe that what Xu Ran gave her for protection would be so frail.
Boom!
Another palm strike descended!
Amidst flashes of lightning and rumbling thunder, Han Yue still stood there, smiling, looking at Shen Yun.
Shen Yun's face grew even darker, cursing under his breath.
He, too, was a notable figure in the Northern Domain, but to think he would be brought down here today. If word of today's events leaked out, who knew how many people would laugh at him!
He had to capture this girl quickly; otherwise, he truly wouldn't have anywhere to put his old face.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Shen Yun showed no mercy, unleashing his full strength upon Han Yue. Yet, the thin layer of golden light just a meter away from her remained steadily intact, protecting Han Yue within.
Han Yue was entirely unaffected, not even blinking when Shen Yun's attacks came roaring toward her.
At this moment, everyone understood.
The object on Han Yue was absolutely not as simple as it seemed.
